The acoustics at Hill Auditorium are among the best in the world. Great for classical music. It regularly hosts world-class musical groups, for example the San Francisco Orchestra, Joshua Bell, and Audra McDonald are already on the schedule.

U-M alums are sooo close to finishing $1,000,000 in fund raising for the Ann Arbor skate park.

The City of Ann Arbor has more than 157 parks & 2,000 plus acres of park land. We have a dirt bike jump course, 2 disc golf courses, 2 dog parks. You can canoe, kayak, swim and row on the fantastic Huron River.

Faculty distinctions at the U-M College of Engineering include 73 endowed and named professorships, 28 National Academy of Engineering members, 3 National Academy of Sciences members, 2 National Medal of Science recipients, 1 National Medal of Technology recipient, 7 Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) recipients, 89 NSF CAREER awards.

Trivia:

The coolest thing about Ann Arbor is that Trevor has been here since 1977 and clearly could have moved elsewhere but did not. That’s 36 years of longevity.

We’re like best friends with U-M alum Madonna who is an avid Python programmer. She prefers Git over SVN. Her 1989 hit song Like a Prayer is actually a personification of her experiences with Valgrind and LLVM at the midnight deadline before submitting her EECS 281 homework. (This is actually not true, but she did start at U-M. And she’s more of a GCC user than LLVM.)
